Camera shots are the visual language that we use to tell our stories, and you don't need to be an expert to incorporate this skill into filmmaking. Watch Audrey's video and find video magic in your shots!

At Talk to the Camera we have learned that every child has their strengths on a video production and identifying those are just a matter of time. With that being said, we realize that not every student in our program will be the next big thing on Disney or Nickelodeon. Some may not even want to be on camera! Fortunately, we have a plan for those students too.

Our kids sure love their technology. They’re completely immersed in gadgets that seemed like science fiction only twenty-five years ago.

#Discovery. Have you ever done something new and discovered a passion for it? Isn't that the way most hobbies, and maybe even careers start? We try something - from water skiing to painting to dog training and acting – and discover we are good at it. Or, we discover it's not exactly what we want or like. Either way, we have learned something new about ourselves and about our world. That's why discovery is so important. It helps us grow.

Being a teacher, the most challenging aspect is finding time for yourself. I know that I struggle with balance, I tend to have many hats that I wear. I’m a mom, a wife, a teacher and business owner.

Here are 4 ways to find balance and take some time for YOU!
